October 2023 Market Update
https://youtu.be/Ui6uHuWZJCY Hey, it’s time for your market update with Mike here at Linnemann Realty, talking about our rental market. and reaching out to all our property owners who have their properties in our care. We’ve got a growing rent list right now. It is not anything unusual; it happens from time to time. I’ve checked […]
The Build, Part IV: Slab
In the last entry we covered civil, and truly only scratched the surface (pun intended). Since that writing, we finished all the underground utility work and passed the city inspections with flying colors. The power pole has been set and connected by Oncor so we have electric service as needed. With the civil work complete […]
The Build, Part III: The Civil
It’s been a whole minute since my last entry, and that’s primarily due to being locked in the slow, agonizing process of waiting. There’s a lot of that in projects like this.
